After the 2024 presidential election, the Democratic National Committee conducted an autopsy of the party’s defeat and intended to release it.
It pledged an honest accounting of how Donald Trump reclaimed the White House.It assured its own officials, strategists, and donor class that a thorough post-mortem was coming.
However, after the autopsy was complete, the DNC clammed up and kept it under wraps.
There was something in the report they didn’t want the public to see, and Democrats weren’t happy about it.
The official explanation for suppressing the report is that releasing it would distract from the party's focus on winning back Congressin 2026 and not be distracted by the past.
That explanation doesn’t hold up.
Several Democrats, including advisers to potential 2028 presidential hopefuls, have argued that burying this report conveniently shields Harris from accountability runs again, while also protecting the consultant class whose strategic decisions contributed to the loss.
"I suspect the reasons why this isn't being released are precisely the reasons why it should be released,”Lis Smith, a longtime adviser to Pete Buttigieg, said in aposton X last year.
“The DNC's actual position is that if the public knew more about what Democrats got wrong in the last election, it would hurt the party's chances in the next election,” former Obama speechwriter Jon Favreauwrote.
Favreau was more right than he realized. Because we know now what the DNC didn’t want the public to know.
